STRESS FIELDS FOR SIMPLE STRUCTURES
1 INTRODUCTION In this chapter the behavior and strength of simple structures made of reinforced or prestressed concrete is investigated with the aid of stress fields. In particular, the webs and flanges of beams, simple walls, brackets, bracing beams and joints of frames are investigated. By this means, the majority of design cases are already covered. In reality, all structural components are three-dimensional. Here, however, components are considered either directly as two-dimensional plate elements (i. e. the plane stress condition with no variation of stress over the thickness of the element) or they are subdivided into several plates. Since two-dimensional structural elements are statically redundant, it is possible for a particular loading to be in equilibrium with many (theoretically an infinite number of) stress states. If the lower bound method of the theory of plasticity is employed, then an admissible stress field or any combination of such stress fields may be selected. In chapter 4 it is shown that this method is suitable for the design of reinforced concrete structures, and the consequence of the choice of the final structural system on the structural behavior is dealt with in detail. The first cases of the use of this method date back to Ritter [6] and Morsch [4], who already at the beginning of the century investigated the resultants of the internal stresses by means of truss models.

Geared toward graduate students and professionals in structural engineering, this text presents a detailed treatment of the elastic and inelastic behavior of metal beams, columns, beam-columns, and rigid frames. All four topics receive separate chapters, in which the background for their general behavior is discussed in terms of specific structural tests. The chapters also examine theoretical elastic behavior and the termination of usefulness by elastic buckling, behavior in the inelastic region, and the uses of various conceptual models in predicting inelastic instability. The final section of each chapter covers procedures and provides interpretations of structural specifications.
Two additional chapters offer an introduction to the text and derive the differential equations governing the elastic deformations of prismatic thin-walled open members. Numerous examples throughout the treatment illustrate theory and applications.

Building Codes Illustrated: A Guide to Understanding the 2015 International Building Code, 5th Edition
Author(s)/Editor(s): Francis D. K. Ching, Steven R. Winkel | Size: 45 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2016 | pages: 761-pdf, 448-epub | ISBN: 978111915092-3
The primary purpose of this book is to familiarize code users with the 2015
International Building Code® (IBC). It is intended as an instructional text on
how the Code was developed and how it is organized, as well as a primer on
how to use the Code. It is intended to be a companion to the IBC, not a
substitute for it. This book must be read in concert with the IBC.
Many designers feel intimidated by building codes. They can seem daunting
and complex at first glance. It is important to know that they are a product of
years of accretion and evolution. Sections start simply and are modified, and
new material is added to address additional concerns or to address
interpretation issues from previous code editions. The complexity of a
building code often comes from this layering of new information upon old
without regard to overall continuity. It is important to keep in mind that there
is no single author of the building code. Each section has a different author.
Building codes are living documents, constantly under review and
modification. It is vital to an understanding of codes to keep in mind that they
are a human institution, written by ordinary people with specific issues in
mind or specific agendas they wish to advance.
Over the past several editions of the IBC there has been an increase in the
number of code revisions made to “clarify” the code. This trend has often
resulted in the reoganization of code sections, often without any substantive
changes. For those code users who are familiar with the previous code
editions these changes can be upsetting and confusing. It may seem that
familiar and well-understood code provisions have disappeared when in
actuality they have just been relocated and renumbered. We strongly
recommend that code users obtain electronic copies of the codes. These lend
themselves to keyword searches that make it possible to find moved
provisions based on the unchanged text content.
This book is designed to give an understanding of how the International
Building Code is developed, how it is likely to be interpreted, and how it
applies to design and construction. The intent of this book is to give a
fundamental understanding of the relationship of codes to practice for design
professionals, especially those licensed or desiring to become licensed as
architects, engineers, or other registered design professionals. Code
knowledge is among the fundamental reasons for licensing design
professionals, for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare. It is our
goal to make the acquisition and use of code knowledge easier and clearer for
code users.

Dynamical and vibratory systems are basically an application of mathematics and applied sciences to the solution of real world problems. Before being able to solve real world problems, it is necessary to carefully study dynamical and vibratory systems and solve all available problems in case of linear and nonlinear equations using analytical and numerical methods. It is of great importance to study nonlinearity in dynamics and vibration; because almost all applied processes act nonlinearly, and on the other hand, nonlinear analysis of complex systems is one of the most important and complicated tasks, especially in engineering and applied sciences problems.
There are probably a handful of books on nonlinear dynamics and vibrations analysis. Some of these books are written at a fundamental level that may not meet ambitious engineering program requirements. Others are specialized in certain fields of oscillatory systems, including modeling and simulations. In this book, we attempt to strike a balance between theory and practice, fundamentals and advanced subjects, and generality and specialization.
None of the books in this area have completely studied and analyzed nonlinear equation in dynamical and vibratory systems using the latest analytical and numerical methods, so that the user can solve the problems without the need of studying too many different references. Thereby in this book, by the use of the latest analytic, numeric laboratorial methods and using more than 300 references like books, papers and the researches done by the authors and by considering almost all possible processes and situation, new theories has been proposed to encounter applied problems in engineering and applied sciences. In this way, the user (bachelor’s, master’s and PhD students, university teachers and even in research centers in different fields of mechanical, civil, aerospace, electrical, chemical, applied mathematics, physics, and etc.) can encounter such systems confidently. In the different chapters of the book, not only are the linear and especially nonlinear problems with oscillatory form broadly discussed, but also applied examples are practically solved by the proposed methodology.

Studies in Applied Mechanics, 4: Variational, Incremental, and Energy Methods in Solid Mechanics and Shell Theory covers the subject of variational, incremental, and energy methods in Solid Mechanics and Shell Theory from a general standpoint, employing general coordinates and tensor notations. The publication first ponders on mathematical preliminaries, kinematics and stress in three-dimensional solid continua, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Discussions focus on the principles of virtual displacements and virtual forces, kinematics of rigid body motions, incremental stresses, kinematics of incremental deformation, description of motion, coordinates, reference and deformed states, tensor formulas for surfaces, and differentials and derivatives of operators. The text then elaborates on constitutive material laws, deformation and stress in shells, first law of thermodynamics applied to shells, and constitutive relations and material laws for shells. Concerns cover hyperelastic incremental material relations, material laws for thin elastic shells, incremental theory and stability, reduced and local forms of the first law of thermodynamics, and description of deformation and motion in shells. The book examines elastic stability, finite element models, variational and incremental principles, variational principles of elasticity and shell theory, and constitutive relations and material laws for shells. The publication is a valuable reference for researchers interested in the variational, incremental, and energy methods in solid mechanics and shell theory.
